Preparation
A typical South Tyrolean dessert, apple strudel is now known and appreciated throughout Italy. Here's how to prepare it quickly and easily using puff pastry, using Occelli butter and with a small variation on the traditional recipe: walnuts instead of pine nuts.
Procedure
Place the raisins in a small bowl with the rum to soften them.
Then prepare the other ingredients for the filling: roughly chop the walnuts, peel the apples and slice them finely.
Then quickly brown the breadcrumbs in 80 g of Occelli® butter melted in a pan. Squeeze the raisins from the soaking and add them to the breadcrumbs; mix well and immediately add all the other ingredients: chopped walnuts, apples, granulated sugar and cinnamon powder. Mix and sauté for about 2 minutes.
Take the roll of puff pastry and unroll it on the work surface: then place the filling right in the center of the pastry, leaving enough free space on the sides to easily close the strudel.
Roll up the cake from the longest side, then seal the two ends well. Place it on a baking tray covered with non-stick paper, melt the remaining 20 g of Occelli® butter and brush it on the strudel.
Bake it in a preheated oven at 180°C: cooking time is approximately 35-40 minutes.
Once ready, let it cool before decorating it with a dusting of icing sugar and serving!
To make this strudel richer and more delicious, you can add some dark chocolate chips.
